Delivery cost based on item weight

The default Litium Studio implementation allows setting a single fixed cost per each delivery method.

Therefore, if we define a maximum weight for each delivery method, its a matter of adding delivery methods for each weight band.

For example, take the following scenario:

When the delivery cost and weights are defined as above, it is not possible to allow the end customer to choose the delivery method, but it should be automatically selected based on the total weight of the delivery.

Since Litium Studio by default does not allow to save the maximum weight for each delivery method, we need to build it using a custom admin panel. Then, we need to select the correct delivery method based on the weight of the delivery, and then use the default delivery cost calculator to calculate the delivery cost based on the cost set in backoffice for each delivery (as shown above).

For example, if the total item weight of a delivery is 400g, then we select the medium package, and the delivery cost will be 69 SEK.

This example can easily be extended when delivery options such as "Standard delivery" and "Express delivery" is needed in the checkout page., but to keep the code sample simple, we only present the above basic implementation.
